Good info. Sounds like it's definitely a good idea to put a few miles on the new setup before getting an alignment.
BTW, any worries about the set screw backing off the height adjustment collar?

the front has 3 full turns left to max and rear has 2 full turns left to max, it had about a finger gap when i was done with the install but it settled down (lower) since the install. The pictures was taken this morning which i think the stance is perfect

I finally got around to start installing my KW sleeve kit. I did the fronts so far. I ended up using a press to get the stock spring perches off. I tried using a hammer, but those things were on there. My car does have 33k miles.
I also noticed my driver side shock was leaking slightly, so it's likely on its way out already. Guess i'll see how long it lasts from here on out.

Hopefully everyone marked the perch position on the dampers if you want to put it back to stock later.
